The father purchased a 1,000 acre (4 km²) tract of land along the Butternut Ridge Road. This he divided equally among his six sons. In the fall, Elijah and Alvah returned to Vermont, but David Johnson stayed in the cabin they had built. The next spring he married Polly Barnum of nearby Ridgeville.

Isaac Frost became the town's first Treasurer. The Thompsons, Carpenters, Barnums and Ushers, were also among the earliest pioneers. All these families settled along what was designated "the Ridge" (now Lorain Road).

In 1823 the people organized into a township called Lenox. Soon after its organization, the town was split, and those settlers living east of the Rocky River joined Middleburgh Township; and those to the west were attached to Ridgeville, Lorain County.

1823 also marks the date of the initial settlement of Coe Ridge in southern Dover Township when Asher Miller Coe arrived with his large family. Judge Coe built himself a handsome residence at what is now Lorain and Columbia Road. The people of Coe Ridge developed a close bond with the families of "the Ridge" because Mr. Coe opened a road from his house to the Universalist Church in Olmsted. When the village of North Olmsted was formed, these people voted to join their neighbors, rather than remain an isolated corner of Dover Township. 1823 was a common year starting on Wednesday (see link for calendar). ...

In 1829 Charles Hyde Olmsted the son of Aaron Olmsted offered the town of Lenox a library of 500 books if they would name of the town after his father.

Also in 1829 before Mr. Olmsted had offered the library, Elias Frost applied for a postal station in his home near the corner of Columbia and Kennedy Ridge Road.

This name remained in use long after the town adopted the Olmsted name. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 1829 was a common year starting on Thursday (see link for calendar). ...
